Notes

All of these methods work. However, only Homebrew, Mint, and Marathon can update TyperTool for you. Furthermore, they all install to the same location, so only use one.

Mint, Marathon, and Homebrew require tools to be installed, while the other options do not.

Mint, Marathon, and building from source require that Swift 4.0 or newer be installed, while the other options do not.

While unlikely, it is possible that Homebrew will take longer to make updates available than Mint or Marathon.

Here is the recommended order. Use the first option that you meet all the requirements for.

1. Homebrew
2. Mint / Marathon
3. Building from source
4. Install script / Download and install
